Are you looking for a step bumper or the automotive "contour" style?
They take different brackets. LMC sells an aftermarket bracket set for the contour style but from what I've heard, they don't fit very well.
The stock brackets have been unavailable for years and the last time I search about six months ago, there was only one out of the four brackets still available and that was one dealer.
Your best bet will be salvage yards, especially if you want the OEM contour bumper.

Here's the illustration from the parts catalog. Not a lot of detail, scroll to the bottom illustration.
Also, don't make the Bronco mistake. The brackets for a 78-79 Bronco can be made to work but they must be cut and welded. The bumpers on the Broncos fit closer to the body.

Extended the in-board brackets with 3/16th plate:
Similar mods required for the outboard "wing" brackets. Installed.
FYI.. if Bronco-hunting, bring an 18mm socket & wrench cuz they went metric in the early 80s.

OEM bumper brackets... don't mind the different colors. The green one underwent electrolysis to dissolve the rust and shot with self-etching primer. The others just got wire-wheeled and temporarily primed.
